Hi Jens, I think we are in the same boat. We suffered the same problem often, on a lower magnitude, but if a project like this exists those DDoS could even be almost near zero. This is somewhat similar to what Spamcop, and other folks do with SPAM today, but applied on a diferent scope, say, BGP Blackhole. This service can span wide after just peers, opening the opportunity to edge-to-edge DDoS mitigation. Say, a network in .pt or .de is beign attacked at large, and dst operators inject the dst attacked source on the blackhole bgp feed... say that 100+ other ops around the world use a cenário like this... this might be very useful. concers: the "autohority" or the "responsible" for maintaining this project, must assure that OP A or OP B can *only* annouce chunks that below to him, avoiding any case of hijack. We would be interested in participating in something like this. So,
My questions to all of you:
- - What do you think about such service?
It will be great. We are available to help.
- - Would you/your ASN participate in such a service?
Yes.
- - Do you see some kind of usefull feature in such a service?
Yes, a few thoughts above, some more might come up.
- - Do you have any comments?
For starters, a few above. Regards, --- Nuno Vieira nfsi telecom, lda. nuno.vieira@nfsi.pt Tel. (+351) 21 949 2300 - Fax (+351) 21 949 2301 http://www.nfsi.pt/ ----- "Jens Ott - PlusServer AG" <j.ott@plusserver.de> wrote:

Hi,
in the last 24 hours we received two denial of service attacks with something like 6-8GBit volume. It did not harm us too much, but e.g. one of our upstreams got his Amsix-Port exploded.
With our upstreams we have remote-blackhole sessions running where we announce /32 prefixes to blackhole at their edge, but this does not work with our peers. Also our Decix-Port received something like 2Gbit extra-traffic during this DoS.
I can imagine, that for some peers, especially for the once having only a thin fiber (e.g. 1GBit) to Decix, it's not to funny having it flooded with a DoS and that they might be interested in dropping such traffic at their edge.
Well I could discuss with my peers (at least the once who might get in trouble with such issue) to do some individual config for some blackhole-announcement, but most probably I'm not the only one receiving DoS and who would be interested in such setup.
Therefore I had the following idea: Why not taking one of my old routers and set it up as blackhole-service. Then everyone who is interested could set up a session to there and
1.) announce /32 (/128) routes out of his prefixes to blackhole them 2.) receive all the /32 (/128) announcements from the other peers with the IPs they want to have blackholed and rollout the blackhole to their network.
My questions to all of you:
- - What do you think about such service? - - Would you/your ASN participate in such a service? - - Do you see some kind of usefull feature in such a service? - - Do you have any comments?
Thank you for telling me your opinions and best regards
